#we moved in january

This year has been. Uh...well it's certainly been time that has passed so far.

i was hoping to make a post like this under happier circumstances, but here goes.

as some of you know, everything with the cancellation and renewal campaign has happened right on top of the worst part of my mom's cancer treatment (plus the show was cancelled on my actual birthday 💀). i won't go into details, but it's been tough. lots of ups and downs, mostly downs, luckily ending (for now) on as much of an up as circumstances allow. the whole thing has been weirdly tied to the cancellation for me, kind of amplifying every feeling. the grief got mixed up, and there was so much of it - mourning the loss of the kind of future i thought i'd have with my mother and the time we might not get, mourning the end of a show that means so much to me and is such a big part of my life. different types of grief, sure, and of different magnitudes, but in one big ugly swirl. i sort of had a breakdown right at the start of february, and it was because of news about my mom, but it morphed into my brain telling me everything i'd ever written was shit and wanting to delete it all. stuff like that, spilling over.

anyway. i was holding off on writing this post to see if the show got picked up by someone else. but i still want to say it. because what also spilled over was the support and community from this fandom, and being in this space (despite the rough times and high emotions) helped me through it, because of all of you here. whether we talk regularly, or you left a comforting reply or simply a like on one of my posts about having a hard time (i tried to keep them few), or wrote a nice comment on a fic, or said something funny or nice or insightful in the tags of a gifset, or was active here (or on twt) in any way, talking/sharing/creating stuff about the show - THANK YOU.

you all helped me through all the ups and downs, and i am so grateful. thank you for being here, listening, distracting, helping me feel some joy despite the horrors. i love you and i love this incredible show and all it has brought and will continue to bring and inspire, and although it should go without saying, i'm not going anywhere. just do me a favor and give yourself a big ol' hug from me, and know that you made a difference for some random guy on the internet (but in reality for many more, and for this fandom as a whole, just by being here and being you) 💕

A small update :)

Hi everyone!! So first of all thank you for all of the birthday wishes!! <3 I appreciate all of you so much. As some of you may know, I'm in grad school and have been dealing with a research proposal and practicum/internship placements (I got my top choice and start in a few months! I'm going to be a therapist in a medical unit at a children's hospital!!) over the past few weeks. That's all over now!! I am going to spend the next week catching up on the readings for class that I let fall to the wayside 😅

So that means, unfortunately, still no updates or fics this week. I won't be answering asks about updating for now because I don't want to overload people's dash. But after that, I'm going to be much more on track and have ample time for writing!! Thank you for reading my fics and reading this thing and ily <3

Please remember that the "tiktok ban" was basically his idea. Then unfortunately due to the "lay down and die" attitudes from a majority of democratic leaning politicians, Donny and his savior complex will use "I saved tiktok" as a bragging point for the rest of his life.

Also, aside from the obvious attempt to control "free speech" and the "right to organize," this at a basic level just seems like a flat out attempt to win favor with the youth. Which so many will fall for...

i mildly dislike xmas but funnily enough not because of the usual reasons (religion, etc) but because it indirectly emphasizes poverty so much. can i please not hear about my friends' new consoles, cars, PCs, etc for one year. please.

This might be the hardest January of our life. Please everyone give us strength.

I didn't go home for the break, and the semester ended on Friday, so I've only just today been able to set up a tree and start making everything nice an cozy for the holidays. I mean it's just me here, but I still want to make it nice. I got some stuff to make cookies and I have some soup that I'm going to prep, and we're supposed to get a few more inches of snow tonight

idk, one good thing about living alone is that I'm able to set time aside specifically to revel in being festive without stressing. Even during holidays I don't often get to be indulgent like this, it's nice

i rly want to go to japan in the next couple years & i obviously want to go with my friends bc like. i'd rather not go to a country on the other side of the world where i don't know the language all by my lonesome lol and also i will just straight up enjoy it more if i am making memories with my besties but man the part of me that hates coordinating logistics with other people is always whispering in my mind like the ps5 like "you could go whenever you wanted if you went by yourself you could go this very november and you wouldn't have to run anything by anybody you could just go you could do christmas in japan christmas in japan"

so im not in los angeles, im down in the san diego area, but i have friends and family up there - some of them pretty close to the Really Bad fires you might be hearing about on the news - and there are a few closer to my area, and just. keep southern california in your thoughts, guys, especially los angeles. i know most of what's getting talked about is probably the celebrities who are affected but the vast, vast majority of people who have lost everything or are at risk of it are just normal people. a lot of them don't even have insurance because their policies got dropped without warning. we already have a massive housing availability/cost crisis that's only going to get worse with so many homes destroyed, not to mention the rampant price gouging already going on. the hughes fire started yesterday and has already burned 8000 acres. and on top of all that we have wildly unseasonable santa ana winds very literally fanning the flames and making it worse - part of the reason the palisades fire got as bad as it did is that firefighting helicopters couldn't take off due to the winds.

it is very bad here right now.

What do you mean I have "period" and I'm not dying?? I don't have to take strong painkillers? I love birth control pills, my beloved 😭❤️

Sometimes I really hate English exams because I find it so hard to put my thoughts and feelings into words like I have these great ideas and i understand but I can’t relay them and it makes me angry or upset which only makes it harder to do the exam cause I’m not thinking clearly
